Bail Eligibility in Utah Any person who has been charged with a non-capital crime is entitled, in most situations, to bail. Capital crimes are those crimes punishable by death. Most states that have a bail system have their own laws that may impact eligibility.

Some examples of typical bail amounts for common crimes are: Petty theft: $50 to $1,000. DUI: $500 to $10,000. Assault: $1,000 to $50,000. Murder: $1 million or more.

Most bond agreements include travel restrictions, confining you to a specific geographic area such as your county or state. These limitations are designed to ensure your availability for court dates. If travel is necessary, you must seek prior approval from the court or your bail bondsman.

In criminal law, bail is the process of releasing a defendant from jail or other governmental custody with conditions set to reasonably assure public safety and court appearance.
